Since signing to BEC Recordings in 2001, Kutless has transformed from a new rock band to a staple artist in the industry that has multi-format, top-charting hits, sold millions of records and more than eight million streams. Launched by original members Jon Micah Sumrall (lead vocals) and guitarist James Mead, the band formed first as a modern rock/worship band at Warner Pacific College in Portland in 2000. Kutless has two RIAA Gold-selling albums for Strong Tower and Live from Portland. The band has had 12 No. 1 radio singles across all formats including their major hits "Strong Tower,” "What Faith Can  Do"and "Carry Me To The Cross.”

After more than 15 years together and reaching fans around the world, Kutless continues to be focused on sharing the Gospel with a younger generation that is searching for answers, with the premiere of their latest CD:: Alpha Omega!

With their upcoming album ALPHA / OMEGA, Kutless has created a collection of rock and worship songs of both original and cover tracks that are true to who the band has been for the last 17 years. They wanted to create a project that would engage the Christian community and have the greatest impact. The songs are true to who the band is at their core - rock and worship. ALPHA / OMEGA features a new version of “Strong Tower” as well as the debut radio single “King of My Heart.”

“We really believe that music can make a difference in people’s lives,” shares Jon Micah Sumrall. “Music is an incredibly powerful tool that can break down walls and allow us to communicate a message of hope to people who may not listen otherwise. We are still recording and performing because we really do believe it makes a difference. We hear stories all the time from people who share with us how a concert or a song has radically impacted their life, and it’s these types of testimonies that keep us going year after year.”

Review:

As you can see/hear, Kutless isn't your standard Christian band- they ROCK. This is a album that will have you singing ans dancing around the house, playing some air guitar along the way!  which means your teens will be screaming for this album this holiday season! But the main thing about this album is the MESSAGE! This combination of songs is SO powerful- reminding us that no matter what we have going on in our life- we are still loved by the one who created us, and who STILL sees us as perfect. That is a resounding message for teens to hear! Some may declare this album not much more than any from a 'worship band' but personally I hate that phrase. Yes, rock music keeps teens involved and singing, but bands like Kutless go beyond SINGING. They get a message across that is so much more than rephrasing the day's gospel lesson. They get ALL of us to remember WHY we have our faith, and what makes it so different from other faiths! So add some air guitar to YOUR holiday music sing alongs, and remind your family about the TRUE reason for this holiday season!

Why do I see Kutless as MORE than 'just a worship band', besides their music?

In 2012, Kutless formed EOTA Ministries (End of The Age) to expand their evangelistic outreach around the globe. EOTA is the non-profit arm that aids Kutless in hosting large, free outreach concerts and events. In 2015, they partnered with other organizations to bring concerts to Kiev, Ukraine and other cities for six events - the largest of their kind in that country. The next year,
Kutless returned to 11 cities in Ukraine as well as in Belarus, a communist country, where more than 100,000 heard the Gospel and over 40,000 commitments to Christ. Yup- that's over and BEYOND beyong 'just a band'!!!
